Default RCMP - GRC patch

Would this patch/title be considered military or police?

During the 2nd WW the RCMP did provide a contribution as part of the Canadian Forces. However, that particular patch is a 1970's addition to their uniform so I would suggest it is a police badge/patch.

Dave has the id. It is the bilingual version which came into wear well after the war. Here is a link to an article on the RCMP titles worn during the SWW. http://servicepub.wordpress.com/2013...-cloth-titles/

Default RCMP Provost

Dear GTB
Please find attached WWll RCMP Provost shoulder flash, which I have had for the past fifty odd years. Will be in touch as I have either been suffering or enjoying ill health for a while.
Best regards
Harry
